Chapter 293: Truly Incurable
Luo Qiao heard this and knew what they were going to do, with the tickets already bought, so she didn’t say anything more, keeping their kindness in her heart.
As soon as Ning Xueling came back, she went straight to the kitchen to help. She felt that keeping busy in the kitchen was an excellent way to avoid facing Luo Qiao, as she really didn’t know how to interact with her.
She had just come out of the kitchen when she heard Luo Siyuan’s words, and her thoughts immediately turned to Zhao Jianing, not far from Ji City. Torn and conflicted, she wanted to suggest they visit Jianing to see how she was doing, but she also felt that wouldn’t be fair to Luo Qiao.
She had mustered the courage to come out and wanted to speak a few words to Luo Qiao, but now she turned around and went back to the kitchen. At the moment, she was somewhat relieved that Luo Qiao didn’t want to return to Capital City for high school, since being together every day would have been incredibly awkward.
As a mother, she really was hopeless; Haotian caught a glimpse of Xueling’s actions and sighed inwardly that there was no cure for her indifference. Their daughter was leaving tonight, and she still wasn’t taking the chance to bond with her; it was truly exasperating.
Haotian stood up and said, "I’ll go check if the dinner is ready. Let’s eat early so we can get good seats for the show. After the performance, we’ll have just enough time to pack up for the train; it’s perfect timing."
Grandpa Luo and Grandma Luo kept reminding Luo Qiao to call them if she needed anything after returning to Ji City, while Luo Siyuan was nearby, packing the things he intended to take with him. Initially, Luo Qiao said she had too much stuff and wanted to leave some behind, but the Luo’s elderly couple stopped her.
Once Luo Siyuan was ready, and the food was served, Ning Xueling came over and said, "Dad, Mom, Qiaoqiao, dinner’s ready."
